Peniel Foundation

Build the future of orphans. Bring hope to their families.

Who are we?

Peniel Foundation puts orphaned children at the heart of its work: schooling, sponsorship, health, nutrition and psychosocial support, so every child can grow up safe and stay in school.

We also support their widowed mothers, because making a family self-reliant is the surest way to protect a child's future. Since 2022, the Foundation has worked closely with communities in Burkina Faso.
